i have had my surgery for almost 4 months now and i havent had any protein shakes.  i used to be able to drink them BEFORE surgery but now they make me gag.  i tried the bullets.. they arent AS bad but they make me really sick.   i finally just gave up on the supplements.. i asked my doctor if that was ok and he said as long as im focusing on protein as my main food source i will be fine.  he has been doing the surgery for over 30 years and he said that the whole 60-70 gram protein rule hasnt been around all that long.  so i dont sweat it.  i eat mostly protein but i dont go over board like some people.  i have lost 77 lbs and havent lost any hair and i feel amazing!       oh yeah! and also another amazing thing.  i go to starbucks.. and they have a protein powder that they will mix in any drink and for some reason when they steam it with the milk u dont really taste it that much.  so i get a grande skinny vanilla latte with half a scoop of the protein and that prob helps out alot.   i get it a couple times a week!    please dont cancel out on the surgery cause of this! this surgery is the most amazing thing EVER!   message me if u have any more questions!  :)
